Coconut Halibut Curry is a rich, warming dish that comes together in under 30 minutes and makes the most of fresh, wild-caught Alaskan halibut. Creamy coconut milk, bold curry paste, and tender vegetables create a flavorful base that lets the quality of the fish do the talking.

Worthy Seafoods Based in Juneau
Worthy Seafoods is a family-owned commercial fishing operation based in Juneau, Alaska. The company is dedicated to delivering wild, sustainable halibut straight from the boat to your table. Founded in 1997 by Steve Box, Worthy Seafoods harvests halibut in the pristine, protected waters of Glacier Bay. With over 40 years of experience, Steve is one of Southeast Alaska’s most respected commercial fishermen.
As soon as each fish comes aboard, the crew bleeds, dresses, and packs it in ice to lock in freshness. They then deliver directly to Alaska Glacier Seafoods for vacuum packing and freezing. The facility is certified by USDC and the Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management program. Throughout every step, the Box family stays involved from the water to your door. That hands-on commitment to quality and sustainability is what sets Worthy Seafoods apart.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb halibut
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 1 tsp lemongrass paste
- 1 tbsp (or to taste) of your favorite curry paste.
- 1 red pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 1 zucchini
- 1 c rice (makes 6, 1/2 c servings when cooked)
- Mushrooms (optional)
- Cilantro and peanuts to taste
Directions:
First, get your rice started so it’s ready when the curry is done. While it cooks, rinse and pat dry the thawed halibut, then set it aside. Chop vegetables.
In a large saucepan, bring coconut milk, lemongrass, and curry paste to a gentle boil. Add the vegetables to the coconut mixture and simmer for 5–8 minutes until just tender. Gently stir in cubed halibut and cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. We love poaching halibut because it’s quick, easy and forgiving.
Serve over a bed of fluffy rice, then garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of peanuts for crunch.
